Fridge/freezer

[DaisyNonna]

Any make I should avoid?
My fridge now freezes as well as the freezer
Very old (like its owner)
Hate shopping so need decent capacity and to have present appliance removed

Turn the thermostat on the fridge down Daisy.(little dial) You may have inadvertently moved it if you have been wiping it down. 0 is off the high numbers make it colder. So choose a lower number on the dial.

[DaisyNonna]

Tried that Togo
Thermostat seems to have packed up
Have a fridge/freezer thermometer and although the freezer is ok the fridge does not respond to changes on the fridge dial

I suspect daisy has had her fridge long enough to know how it works. ;-)

What's your budget?

[DaisyNonna]

Pasta, yes I have had it much too long

[DaisyNonna]

Flonska, thinking about £300-£400

If here is a John Lewis within easy reach - have a look there for ideas. The fridges they stock are good quality and the staff are usually very good at finding one to suit price and the features you want. They will usually take your old one away - there maybe an extra charge for this.
Initially, you can browse their site:-

Nowhere near a John Lewis

Tidy Fr/Freezer Daisy. Just checking that you knew about the "settings".
I think I have a stalker...:))

If looking at units in other retailers near to you (e.g. currys, argos independents etc) i suggest you look at Bosch, AEG and Beko in your price range for quality and the features that you want. You may be able to get a deal on delivery/ install and removal of your old one.

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks Flonska

[DaisyNonna]

Togo, checked out your stalker
Looks good
What do you think?

Daughter has a Beko, nice and big but sounds like a train.

Good selection in Argos daisy, check the buyers feedback and order online .

Note : check the insulation in each appliance you are considering. The more insulation, the less it will cost to run. I once went from using a huge ex-shop freezer at 50p a day ( yes ! true ! ) to a heavily-insulated family freezer at less than 2p a day.

LEC is an excellent and reliable brand. Free delivery from Curry's, and also they will take away your old Fridge/Freezer for a small Fee.

If your fridge/freezer is in the garage Beko is the best make, so I was told by three different retailers.
